Wireless evolution: Getting closer

摘要

Standing at the podium in front of an audience of carriers and private fleet operators a few months ago, Dwight Klappich posed a question related to his fleet transportation trends presentation. "1 asked how many of them had mobile-enabled fleets," says Klappich, research vice president for Gartner. "About half of the audience raised its hands."Next, Klappich asked how many of the vehicles were equipped with GPS systems and the response was significantly lower. "So, basically they're driving around in $300,000 units, but still using paper to track their activities," he says.
